Question viewing Internet Explorer links from Outlook Express

For awhile today, each time I opened Internet Explorer, it came up as almost a "thumbnail"size image. After shut down, it corrected itself, but if I try to view a link contained in an email, it come up as very small thumbnail size image. It can be expanded, but this has not happened before. Obviously there is a setting that has been changed, and I can't find it. Anyone know where to look?
If I copy the link and then open IE and paste the link in the address bar, it works just fine. If IE explorer is open and I attempt to open the link from OE...same problem.

Thumbs up

Found a way to solve the problem....just drag the edges of the miniature window to full size...close, and everything seems to be back to normal! Hey if it works!!!

rufous,

I think you have found a new way to solve a problem which many folks have. Generally speaking, you would open the first link, then right click on another link in that webpage / click "Open In Another Window" / right click again on a link in that new page and do the same / then go back maximizing each window before closing each window. By maximizing each window opened, windows remembers the setting from then on. Sometimes you have to right click through several pages (to accumilate a number of them) before retreating back through.

You in effect, maximized the window by dragging the sides to full size, and windows remembered it just from the one window. You're a brainiac and probably didn't know it! Congratulations.

Regards,

TAB
